We’re the largest, voluntary-run gliding club in the UK and based at our own airfield opposite the Parham House estate. Our friendly club, founded in 1930, has around 200 members – many of them fully qualified glider pilots and aviation enthusiasts.

Our volunteer run railway in the Pulborough Garden Centre will take you on an exciting trip through the gardens from Stopham Road Station. Trains run from March to September and are usually hauled by a real coal burning steam engine. It’s great fun for adults and children alike. The railway started in 2000 and we have carried many thousands of passengers on a journey of just under one mile.

We have over 40 members of all ages and interested parties are always welcome to join our weekly practice sessions (roll-ups) on a Monday Evening, from 6pm until Dusk. Green fees of £3.50 per session are payable in the Clubhouse. We will endeavour to provide you with some bowls for your practice session until you have access to your own, but flat shoes, without grips, are required to walk on the green. We look forward to meeting new members, fellow bowlers, spectators and Touring Clubs and hope that this site will answer any queries you may have.
